The Mother at tbe Gate.
Oh, there's many a lovely picture
On memory's silent wall,
Therfe's many a cheeful image
That I tenderly reeiiI!!
That sweet home of my childhood, ji
With its singing brooks and birds ; Jf
The.friends who irrew besides me,
With their loving looks and words; 4
The flowers that decked the wildvrood.
The roses fresh and sweet, ?
Tho blue bells and the daisies,
That blossom at ray feet?
All, all are very precious,
And often come to me
Like breazes from a better land
-^ff?vpnd life's troubled sea:

Is the image of my mother? M

The Danokr From Lightning.?
Danger from lightning, experience
shows, is less in a crowded town than
in a village or in the open country,
and natura'ly the most elevated
structure is liable to be struck.
Fuller, indeed, in his "Church History,"
asserts thai/tliere scarcely ever
existed a great abbey in England
which has not been, at one time or other,
wholly or partially destroyed by
lightning, and his citations, taken in
comparison with our own times, are
certainly remarkable. In all ca-cs, it
is the spire, the tower of the dome
which has been mutilated- As to ordinary
habitations, all sorts of theories
are in vogue on the subject of danger
and safety. Some rely on their
glass in the windows, and some on
their register stove; others recomtnand
stone roofs instead of slate;
atrd others tell timid people that they
must live in a hollow. It is contend
eil on this side mat tncre snouiu uu
the least possible admixture of metal
|in the combination of an inhabited
I structure; and on that, that all bells
beneath the roof be kept continually
singing just as, in obedience to an old
superstition, cannons are fired at sea.
The ma-'s of evidence on this topic
point, however, to the one conclusion
already suggested, that a good lightning
conductor is the solifary safeguanjl,
but that unless good, is worse
than none,

The Mania For Relics.?A Boston
correspondent tells the following:
Mark Twain, in one of his articles,
speaks of the lady who treasures a
precious slice of bread from which
Dickens had taken a bite. This sounds
liL-n t twi hnrlftsnon hut the
following anecdote, which is literally,
true! and illustrates many peoples
foolish' desire for relics, shows that
Twain was hardly burlesquing in his
c??ay. The jast limy that jir. Dickens

tablo of the hotel wteTcTOSt^
I ping. When he had eaten his egg he
[dropped the empty shell into his eggjenp,
auditor finishing his breakfast,
he left tise table. As soon a^ho had
gone a lady who Hair next to him
arose, and taking up t^io cup, went to
the hotel proprietor and offered to purchase
it of* him at any [irtCe and ifie
broken shell, iff now kept by her as a
souvenir of the gieat novelist. "

Danger r rom Eating Nuts.?As
this is the season for drinking cider and
eatinir nuts, is may not be amiss to give
ii bint which may be useful. Medjt
| cal ihen adviser! that salt should be taken
\ with-nuts, especially when they are eatien
at night. Ope time, says a writer,
1 while enjoying a visit from Englishman
hickory nuts weve served in the evening,
when mv English friend called for salt,
stating that Lc kue"V of a case of a woman
eating lieartily Of nuts in the evenling
who was taken violently ill. The
! celebrated Dr. Abernathy was agnt?forr
i but it was after he had become too lond
of his cup, aud he was not' in. condition
to go. He muttered, "iSalt! salt!" of
which uo notice was taken. Next morning
he went to the place and she was a
corpse. He said had they given her
salt it would have relieved her; if they
would allow him to make an examination
he woulp convince them. On opening
the stomach the nuts were found
ill a mass. ne spniiKiea ran ou iujs
and it immediately dissolved. I have
known of a sudden death myself which
appeared to bo from the same cau&. I
generally eat salt with nuts, and 1 consider
that it improves them.

Window Shade, which for durability,
cheapness, convenience and
beauty, cannot be surpassed. Each
shade is furnished with ail the fixtures
complete, and only requires two
lattth^Kror small Vcrews to fasten it
up witf>$j Should they become, soiled
by flies, the}* can be spread on a table,
washed apd mndo as bright as new,
and will Inst for years. This style of
shade is ifijlch superior to cloth j
shades. Ih'ifcnrin weather, when the
window is raised, the shade admits
the air but prevents flies and mosquitoes
entering the room. The simplic- ,
i& of their fixtures is much in their
fftpr, as they require no rollers, gach
sumo bein^j complete, and any one :
jcari tfisVe two nails by which to hang!
fcfieml They tire low in price, durii-l
ble, convenient. and neveivget out of!
